This fall, I’ll be running my first marathon — the Chicago Marathon! Even just a year ago, I never would have imagined taking on something like this, but over the past few months, running has become a fun new challenge for me. I am excited to push myself toward this ultimate goal! Running has challenged me, grounded me, and shown me the impact that movement and community can have. Supporting Chicago Run feels like the perfect way to connect my own running journey to helping young people experience those same benefits.

Please help me support Chicago Run by making a contribution to my 2026 Chicago Marathon fundraiser and sharing this page with your family and friends. Every dollar I raise will help advance Chicago Run’s incredible mission!
 

Chicago Run empowers thousands of young people from Pre-K through high school with equitable access to inclusive running and physical activity programs. Through the power of sport, Chicago Run builds resilience to stress and trauma while developing social and emotional skills.
